COAL MINES.
what an Austin Geologist Thinks About
Texas Coal.

Texas Coal.
Special to the Gazette.
Cisco, TEX, Jan. l0.-Your reporter
was handed letter tits morning which
Mr.. Emil Schaeier, German liv ing about
three miles southwest of Cisco, received
from Mr.. Ehrenberg, formerly director OF
the cosl mines of the emperor of Austria.
He was also in the United States in the
interest of an English company at the
time the Texas Central Railroad Com
papy opened up the coal mines a. this
place. He had occasion 10 visit Cisco
and vicinity, and gave it as his opinion
then that the company would soon
abandon the mines unless they went
deeper into the ground for the coal, Civ
ing as reason foi his statemen: that the
surface coal was OF an inferior
quality and not worth mining, but stated
il they would go deeper they would strike
better and greater quantity of coal that
would be of great interest to this country.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Ehren-
berg has world wide reputation as an
expert geologist. He is expecting to
make smother "Trip to this country soon,
at which time he will visit Mexico and
examine some coal fields in that country
for Jay Gould.
The following is portion of the letter
referred to above
My dear Mr.. Schaefer: l am very glad
to have had the opportunity of visit in
your country and am exceedingly
sorry that my time was so limited, pre-
venting me from making an extensive
examination of the coal veins in
your neighbCrhooG lam sure that If kaG
had more leisure CT tae time OF nv visit
to your section Cf the state | would have
been able 10 tiud in your neighborhOod,
watch is ii the hesrt of the COgI region,
veins which would be profitable to mime.
Since MY departure 1 have had occasion
t. examine the coal formation in Texas
thoroughly AMI found thai coal VEINS and
deposits or basins of coal are found from
iudian Territory through Texas to f. gle
Pass with bat "a sligSt interruption in
Mason county, On al average width
OF about seventy mil~s; and
IA softer coal from Louisiana
through'S uthern Texas as far as Laredo,
Mex, on az average width 81 about
sky miles. 1t Is deDl1rabIe th.t Texas
has so little industry, or rather capital,
a. il is ridiculous to buy coal, wearing
apparel, lr0G, etc, etc, from the Eastern
stl5ss wnen Texas has al the rev ms
ter;al il abundance and Should mauuisc-
tue herself. Earnestly advise you not
to lose Heart, rs there - brilliant future
in store for your naigh5orn0od. l am
positive taat better coal will be mined IN
your vicinity, especially IL southwestern
direction from your farm, than that
mined now. The coal low mined there,
or rather the mines in operation there,
are not of 9 character that their mining is
pr ti5aole to those engaged in the enter
prise.

An Errlng Tarantula.

When Texas girl gets nervous and
frightened at the approach OF an insect
or anything short OF mouse, then some
thing must certainly be wrong with
her digestion. A healthy Texas girl
can't ride the trick-mule of circus, be-
cause she don't have to-" nor does she
charm snakes and spiders for a living,
because her father, usually a merchant
or stockman. feeds her and clothes her
we'll enough without this adjunct to her
income. But she Is not afraid Of them.
One Of these Texas girls, now young
lady, with the regulation Texas blonde
hair, blue eyes and peach complexion.
was tried on the spider game few days
ago and came off smiling, as usual. She
was In Laredo visiting friend Of
her school days, and one morning last
week she arose and put on her dainty
shoes and started for her breakfa st.,
which was hearty one. During the
meal she felt something very awkward
In the toe Of one Of her shoes, and think
ing the children had stuffed cotton or
other substance therein while playing
with the shoe, she finished breakfast,
and then climbing on the edge OF the
bed In her room she pulled off the shoe,
and big wo0lly tarantula, In half
smothered condition, rolled out on the
floor and looked wickedly around. The
young lady was surprised at first, but
soon recovered and went for the tsrantu-
la, which she killed, and now exhibits as
a warning to all other tsrantulas or any
body else, not to take too much liberty
with Texas maidens.
